My husband is self employed, and I earn $45,000 base salary with OT $60,000. We are looking to buy in Los angeles, from SFV to areas near downtown LA (there are homes in this price range) We would be 1st time buyers, price range $250,000 to $300,000 we can put down $20,000. We both have excellent credit his 820 mine 790. Current rent is $1560, never late and have bank statements for past 5 years. Are we in a position to get a mortage or not? by ralitodd from Century City, California. Oct 1st 2009 Reply

Hello, Based on the information you have provided you would qualify for a FHA loan putting 3.5% down and/or a Fannie Mae loan putting 10% down. You would most likely qualify for the first time home buyers credit of $8000.00. This would depend on what your husband shows as income. I would be happy to spend some time going over the differences of these two loans and give you information on how to ask the seller for credit toward all and/or some of your closing cost. You can look at which loan best fits your personal needs. I can have you pre-approved and ready to go for when you are ready to make an offer. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I would be happy to answer these for you. You can reach me at 707-837-2700 Ext. 212 and/or via email at cindyw@communitypacificmortgage.com. You can also view my website at www.cindyscommunity.com. Again, feel free to contact me with any questions. Have a great day.

You're in a great position to purchase a home today based on your good credit scores with 3.5% down payment. You new house payment should not be more than around 50% of your gross monthly income, before taxes. That income would be based on your w-2 income and your husbands tax returns. His income can be calculated from his schedule C income, after deductions. You can add back in equipment depreciation for his total income.Most loans today will allow you to qualify for the amount of income that you are paying taxes on. Whatever we can document on the tax returns, w-2's and paystubs can be counted.Let me know if I can assist you.Regards,Doug BullwinkelLenderSolutions.com
